public health/ Evidenced-Based Practice (EBP)
Write a paper of 500 words (not including the title page and reference page) on your proposed
problem description for your EBP project. The paper should address the following:
Describe the background of the problem. Tell the story of the issue and why it deserves attention.
Identify the stakeholders/change agents. Who, or what organizations, are concerned, may benefit
from, or are affected by this proposal. List the interested parties, patients, students, agencies,
Joint Commission, etc.
Use the feedback from the Topic 2 main forum post and refine your PICOT question. Make sure that
the question fits with your graduate degree specialization.
State the purpose and project objectives in specific, realistic, and measurable terms. The
objective should address what is to be gained. This is a restatement of the question, providing
focus. Measurements need to be taken before and after the evidence-based practice is introduced to
identify the expected changes.
5) Provide supportive rationale that the problem or issue is an important one for nursing to
resolve using relevant professional literature sources.
Develop an initial reference list to assure that there is adequate literature to support your
evidence-based practice project. Follow the "Steps to an Efficient Search to Answer a Clinical
Question" box in chapter 3 of the textbook. Use "NUR-699 Search Method Example" to assist you.
7) The majority of references should be research articles. However, national sources such as
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Department of Health and Human Resources (HHS), or the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ) and others may be used when you are gathering statistics to provide the rationale for the
problem.
Once you get into the literature, you may find there is very little research to support your topic
and you will have to start all over again. Remember, in order for this to be an evidence-based
project, you must have enough evidence to introduce this as a practice change. If you find that you
do not have enough supporting evidence to change a practice, then further research would need to be
conducted.

The problem description and objectives are presented in detail and align. The stakeholders/change
agents - who or what organizations are concerned, may benefit from, or are affected by this
proposal - are described. The problem is in the PICOT format and developed appropriately.
Objectives are measurable. The problem selection is justified using literature and supportive
examples, not just based on the most current evidence. Expected changes before and after the
evidence-based practice are integrated. An initial reference list is developed. Clarity and
specificity of comprehension are demonstrated, and all relevant information is synthesized.
Coverage extends beyond what is needed to support subject matter. Writer is clearly in command of
standard, written, academic English.
